ONEoFTHE WORLDS MEAN MEN.-There
are some very mean men in this world. That
everybody knows But perhaps the mean
est of them all is an individual who has
been operating in real estate and building.
His favorite method is to buy a lot in a
block where the fronts of adjoining houses
are eight or ten feet or more from The side
walk. He starts his house with the front
wall flush with the sidewalk. Ofcourse his
neighbors demonstrate. Naturally they Go
not want their light and view cut off. But
be doesn't see how he can alter his plans.
He has been to much expense, and to change
things now would cause him no end of loss.
II, however. the property owners directly
interested will consent to help him out of
the difficulty to the extent of 5000 to $500
apiece he Will have the front wall set back
in line with his neighbors houses. Other
wise he will be compelled to 90 ahead. This
mean little game, It's said, has been repeat
eddy and prolitably played by the same man.

LION Killed. Bridgeport, Conn, special

children ell over the country as he rode perched

day or two ago at the winter quarters in this city,
in the presence of fifty spectators. Mr.. Barnum

present. The huge beast has been suffering for
the past year with spinal meningitis, and the case
was pronounced incurable. 1t has been ques-
ton how to best kill the animal without causing
an uprosr among the hundreds Of Gagged beasts.
Finally it was decided to use chloroform, and DR..
Robert was appointed exeeutioner. George w.
johnson, Kennedy's keeper, arranged the prelim.
uaries by securely binding the lions feet to OPP.
poste sides Of the cage TO prevent him thrashing
about or breaking away large wire basket was
lined with rubber cloth, and into this was placed
three quarters of pound of chloroform. The
cloth was then tied over Kerncdys neck and in
halaton began. For about two minutes the
lion struggled frantcally to release his head, and
then he gradually succumbed to the aneesthetic.
In six minutes he was pronounced dead. The
skin and skeleton of the beast will be forwarded
to Professor Ward at Rochester to be stuffed and
mounted. They will then find their place in the
Barnum museum at Tufts College, Boston. The
heaIt and liver were presented to DR.. George F.

The AQUEDUCT BRIDGE.-The board of

slider project for the reconstruction of the
aqueduct bridge held its first meeting in
Washington Thursday. The board yester-
day visited the bridge for the purpose Of
making an inspection and obtaining infor-
nation as to what is necessary to be done.
The board is not limited to the cousidera-
ton of any particular plan of reconstructing
the bridge, although Col. Hams submitted
a plan which will he considered. There
seems to be general belief that Col Hams
made draw in the new bridge an absolute
necessity. His report stated that the
bridge could be built without draw for
the 100000 available, but that if Congress
desired to appropriate before adjournment
an additional sum for the purpose the draw
could be made. His recommendation, how
ever, was that the bridge be reconstructed
for the $l05, 900 at once, without a draw
and with an earthen approach on the Fir-

A PROSPECTIVE CIrY.-We learn that
several capitalists of Washington city have
recently purchased almost the entire site of
Potomac City, situated on the Potomac
river, and about equidistant between this
place aud Alexandria. The large hotel at
that place is to be thoroughly repaired and
refurnished a brick yard opened, and other
improvements made, among them lighting
the city" by electricity. Fredericksburg
and Alexandria had better be mindful of
their prestige as ''liye and wide-awake"
towns, else they will be rivaed in the near
future by city just beyond their borders.
